Old Venetian Harbour

Chania, Greece

The old Venetian harbour of Chania as the gemstone on the most priceless jewel of western Crete, called old town of Chania.
The quay is the busiest part of the old town of Chania, filled with cafes, restaurants, bars, bakeries and other shops.
However, the harbour would have been just like another beautiful seaside tourist place, if there haven't been preserved its monuments since the Venetian rule period (1252-1645), the Ottoman rule (1645-1898 ), and the years of the Egyptian domination (1831-1841) that occurred during the Turkish period.
